At last! third time lucky , a pleasant flying day for the club Scale event.
Each plane was given up to 20 points for how closely it resembled the original, and a further 80 being allotted to how well it was flown.  
First up in the Club Pilots section was Steve Green flying his electric Lancaster to great effect and accumulated a steady score flying appropriate manoeuvres.
Next to fly, Kevin Belcher flying his Fokker monoplane look-alike, scored well but was let down by a poor landing.
Trevor Booth flying his 'Blue Angel' jet made good use of the high cloud base with smoothly executed loops and Cuban 8's and scored highly, only slightly marred by an average landing.
Norman Quilter's PC9 suffered engine problems on take-off which sidelined him for the rest of the event.
Next was Rex Leavesley flying an electric powered Ford Trimotor which he flew well in the light breeze but the landing was a bit erratic ending with the plane tipped on its nose thus reducing his score.
David Page completed the club pilots section flying his Stampe Bi-plane with a good take-off and aerobatic sequence but again scored poorly on landing marks.

In the Display Pilots section there were only two entrants, Ted Cooke flying a Spitfire completed some excellent loops and rolls in a scale like manner and Glenn Masters first time flight with a Cessna 332 also scored well, not realising he was in the competition.

After a check of the scores, Trevor Booth was declared the winner, Steve Green, second and David Page, third, in the club pilots section, with Ted Cooke, first followed by Glenn Masters in the Display pilots section.

Thanks to all who took part, and don't forget that on October 7th is the Event called 'Taxi and Fly'. All Pilots are encouraged to enter for the fabulous prizes now on offer.
